I am a complete sucker for frames. Little frames, magnet frames, keychain frames, big frames, and REALLY BIG FRAMES.
Cut It Out Frames has the most AMAZING hugely ginormous frames, and when I had the opportunity to find room in my house for a few of them, I went into planning mode. There aren’t too many spots in my house where a large (think 32″ wide x 41″ tall) frame can go, so I went scouting. Â

My kitchen had a “pseudo” command center that has always been FINE, but really just a place to throw craft store Bed Bath and Beyond coupons for about 4 months after they expire. Here was my before:

How to Make a Simple Command Center
So I painted my Cut It Out Frame and headed off to IKEA with my bestie. We shopped in peace for 4 hours without our children or our husbands. It was magical. There were corners of IKEA we had never been into – because by the time we got that far with the husbands, they were rolling us right-on-by those hidden corners.
 “Let’s GO”, they’d say.
“We need to leave”
“You don’t need to look at this room too.”
So IKEA and I had a date, and I bought some super fun accessories for my new “clean” wall.

I bought a roll of bulletin board material and cut it to fit the backing of my Cut It Out Frame.
I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the bulletin board to the backing, then placed it back in the frame.

I didn’t go crazy with menus and calendars because I just know I won’t use them. I just needed a zone. A place to put things that still looks pretty. Simple and pretty.

Do You Have a Command Center at Home?
Do you use a command center in your kitchen? Is it simple and pretty or full and disorganized?
